alirn anh ' luu 21 EXT ' S ' -FIX ' E years ago the Uiiiversiiy was a very ' liliercnt thing from what it is now, and Lincohi was very different, too. There was no paving anywhere in the city. People said paving was not necessary on this soil, where mud never formed. There v.ere no street cars, very few hacks, and still fewer carriages; of bicycles there were a few, but not an automobile, hen you went to the University you generally walked. If you had a carriage, or dnwe Dobbin in a buggy, you drove right up to the main (south) door of University Hall (then called the University), for that was long before the advent of the iron fence. A curving drive entered near the southwest corner and passing by the front door curved out into R street again near the southeast corner of the campus. There was not a board, brick, or stone walk on the campus. It was all right in dry weather, but in muddy weather it was difficult navigating. The grasses were stdl the wild species of the raw prairie, and the trees were mainly thrifty cotton- woods. The campus (then called the grounds ) was enclosed by a hedge, and when the gates became old and rickety, posts were set zigzag in the gateways to keep the cattle from wandering in. But the corner gates stood open, and through these the cows used to come in at will. For a time a man on T street regularly tethered his cows and horses on the north part of the campus, and was much grieved when finally told that he could not continue to do so. There was only one building — old University Hall. In the winter it wos warmed bv stoves. John Green kept these running, carrying up coal, and carry- ing down ashes. On cold days we huddled around the stoves and shivered through the recitations. If too cold we called John (Ireen. There were no electric bells in those davs, and so we literallv called him. In addition to all this. John (jreen mowed the campus, dug the flower beds, pruned the trees, made general repairs, drove the cows off the campus, and was the day and night policeman. As the children say. John Green was IT. Think of crowding a whole University into that old building. Hut after all it was not so great a feat. I have today more students in botany than were in the whole University, including the three-headed Medical College. . nd besides there was no room wasted in offices. There was not such a thing as an office, connected with the University. Even the Chancellor ' s desk was in a class-room, and as for the professors, if other classes came into their rooms they could go out into the hallways, or into the quiet of the library. Class-rooms were primarily for recitations, and not for professors offices. Speaking of the librar . reminds me of the two small rooms (now numbers 202 and 203) on the second floor of L iiversity Hall where it was housed. Pro-
